OK, how do you stop Tripod pix from disappearing?

(That was the only copy I could find, & I was too lazy to scan from my book.)

You can't.

The image I used was a diferrent image that was not on a Tripod server.

Tripod is one of those servers that imediately blocks any links to it's images. There are a few other servers that do likewise.

One trick I have learned is to use the "Cached" link when you are doing a search on Google. Google apparently needs to link to a site before it copies it into it's archive and that is long enough for the Tripod image to replace the original image. So, when you bring up the "Cached" page on Google, you will not only see your highlighted keywords but also see the Tripod logo that tells you that you have to keep searching for a useable image on some oner web site.

For a famous painting, it was hard to find "Playing Old Soldier" on another site. I had to Google search with various combinations of "Homer Winslow", "Winslow", "Civil War", "Goldbrick", etc. before I could find another copy of it outside of Tripod that I could use.
